You could use either one, LS. I don't prefer one to the other. :wink:

Was there a specific reason you used 'new' twice in each sentence?

Hi, Amy
Thanks for your help :)
Yeah, there was one. We just created a new collection and then we wanted to fill it with new items

BTW, do you consider it natural to say Which one of the two sentences quoted do you prefer to use ?

Hi LS

I'd go for "Which (one) of the two sentences quoted would you prefer to use?" (because my use of either one of those sentences is theoretical.)
